The seed sector analysis South-East Asia market size is projected to expand at a considerable CAGR during the forecast period, 2021–2028. The growth of the market is attributed to the adaptation of new technologies for the cultivation of crops.
A seed is a matured fertilized ovule of a flowering plant that contains an embryo and is capable of sprouting into a new plant. Seeds have been defined as seeds for planting at the farmer level for this study. Market sizing was done at the farmer level in this research. One of the main causes for the market's expansion in India is the use of hybrid seeds. Over the last decade, the hybrid seed industry has grown at a rate of 15-20% a year. Increased adoption of Bt cotton hybrids, single-cross corn hybrids, hybrid rice, and hybrid vegetables has provided a considerable boost. Cereals are India's most extensively produced crops, and the seed market for them is booming. According to the FAO, paddy cultivation covered 62 million hectares in 2018, an increase of one million hectares from the previous year. Wheat, barley, oats, maize, and sorghum are some of the other grains grown in this area. Increased cereal farming is expected to enhance the cereal seed industry significantly in the future.
During the forecast period, the Southeast Asian seed market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.4% (2020-2025). Rice is the region's most important crop, with 50.3 million hectares under cultivation. The vegetable seed segment, in addition to rice, is another fast-growing area of the seed industry. Indonesia, Vietnam, and the Philippines are major vegetable-growing countries in the area. In the area, vegetables are cultivated on 39.6 million hectares. Rice is farmed over 50.3 million hectares in the Southeast Asian area, making it the world's third-largest rice-growing region after China and the Indian subcontinent.

Market Segment Insights
Rice segment to expand at a robust pace
On the basis of crop types, the seed sector analysis South-East Asia market is segmented into rice, maize [corn], cotton, vegetables, and other crops. The rice segment is expected to account for a key share of the market (during the forecast period owing to growing as a result of greater technological acceptance, such as the use of hybrid seeds. However, over 55% of the rice-growing regions in the region lack irrigation systems, and production is entirely rainfed, resulting in lower yields and prompting farmers to cut their rice-farming investments.
Hybrid seeds segment is projected to account for a key market share
In terms of product types, the seed sector analysis South-East Asia market is bifurcated into hybrid seeds, conventional seeds, and varietal Seeds. The hybrid segment is expected to account for a key share of the market in the coming years owing to the growing demand for cultivation by farmers.
Thailand is expected to dominate the market
On the basis of regions, the seed sector analysis South-East Asia market is categorized as Vietnam, Indonesia, Thailand, Myanmar, Malaysia, Philippines, and Rest of South-East Asia. The market of Thailand is anticipated to expand at an impressive CAGR during the forecast period. The regional market growth can be attributed to year-round seed production, trained farmers, and strong connectivity. Furthermore, in Thailand, there were 184 seed firms in 2015, but only 34 of them possessed seed research and development divisions. Thailand's seed sector aims to produce high-quality rice, leguminous crop, and forage crop seeds by 2020, in order to fulfil global demand and boost export value through the export of Thai-developed varieties. Thailand is the world's second-largest exporter, with vegetable seeds going to India, Vietnam, and China. Outside of Asia, the United States, the Netherlands, and France are the top importers of Thai vegetable seeds. Vietnam imports the most Thai corn seed, followed by Myanmar, Pakistan, Indonesia, and Sri Lanka.
